How to get Arduino Yun working with MF522

I'm new with the Arduino Yun and found that there a few threads saying that the MF522 doesn't work without rewiring it: Arduino Yun RFID-RC522 module not working - Arduino Stack Exchange

Can I ask what this entails (in simple language)? And after rewiring will the popular GitHub - miguelbalboa/rfid: Arduino RFID Library for MFRC522 library work?
